The
Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (the Farm
Bill) established the Renewable Energy Systems and Energy
Efficiency Improvements Program under Title IX, Section
9006. This program currently funds grants and loan guarantees
to agricultural producers and rural small business for assistance
with purchasing renewable energy systems and making energy efficiency
improvements.
New for 2006, the program offers both grants
and guaranteed loans for eligible projects. In addition, projects
with total eligible costs under $200,000 can apply under a Simplified
Application Process designed to streamline the application process
for small projects.
On this site you will find information
on the Section 9006 grant and guaranteed loan programs including
details on project and applicant eligibility, application procedures,
required forms and other useful information to assist you in
the application process. For full information on the program,
please refer to the program rule,
7 CFR Part 4280.
Welcome to your one-stop source for
